Beschreibung: This course aims to study African-American history in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century using Hip-Hop as a frame of reference and as the primary material. We will discuss Hip-Hop as a cultural phenomenon, more specifically as an expression of African-American culture. This means that the course will deal with all dimensions of Hip-Hop and, thus, offers a wide variety of possibilities for our class. While rap will form a central focus, we will cover other types of art as well, all with the goal to better understand the African-American experience in the last five decades.
This is an American Studies course and shares requirements and guidelines with all other American Studies courses taught at IfAA. The "American Studies Tool Kit" in the Stud.IP Documents section outlines these requirements and guidelines. Please see the “Guidelines for Seminar Papers” for information on the formal requirements for the final paper. The “Abbreviations Key” and “Grading Rubric” are used in the grading and feedback process and will enable you to better judge your own paper even before handing it in. If in doubt, please ask your instructor about specific requirements for each course.
